I feel when my kids / nanny kids are sick, I give in a lot more. They're sick and uncomfortable so I'd give a bit of the junkfood with healthy food

It’s about balance.

I have a treat on my period. So if my son wants a popsicle when he’s sick, he gets one

Wants a dna test

Sooo, today I had my anatomy scan(thank god everything went well, especially with baby) but once again dad couldn’t make it.
I told him about it the day before and told him I was leaving my mom’s house at a specific time, either meet me at my house or the hospital, left me on read and never came. He then got the nerve to ask why I didn’t call him. Well one I was up all night finishing my hair by myself, rushing out the house, sleep deprived, and I told you when to come so that’s on you, not me.
Anyways , I told him why and apparently he didn’t like what he heard so now he’s talking about he wants a dna test. I’m gonna give him what asked for and im breaking things off with him. Not because I’m guilty but because I’m tired off always being accused or the identity our baby being a topic every time he doesn’t get his ways.

Too mad to punish wisely...

My 4 year old son took scissors to our old, heirloom, Ethan Allen couch that belonged to my husband's dearly departed grandmother - highly sentimental and probably the most expensive thing we own! He knows better and lied to me when I discovered the damage. My husband is deployed, naturally, or else I would let him deal with it. I'm shaking with rage, so I'm a deer in headlights trying to figure out what to do about this, but I can't just let him get away with it! I've always struggled with discipline, but this is WAY beyond my scope of parental skill - WTF DO I DO?!?!

Idk what to do🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey so I have 2 kids, my son just turned 4 in March and my daughter is 19 months. We live in apartments on the 3rd floor and we just moved in about a month ago. Our downstairs neighbors are constantly banging on the ceiling when my kids are playing and don’t get me wrong i understand kids stomping all day can be annoying so I try to minimize them running or doing things that make stomping noises and I feel bad because they can’t play how they want in there own home and my kids don’t stomp at crazy hours like I’m able to hold them off till like maybe 3 or 4 in the afternoon and go to bed at 9pm but they don’t stomp that whole time. So idk if i should maybe write them a letter explaining I have two little kids or am i wrong when they stomp at all?

Have you tried the magic spoon? 🤔

Ive been feeding my almost 8mo purees for about a month maybe month and a half. Ive just used the regular baby spoons and he would mostly spit out whatever I gave him. He recently started swallowing a little more but still not a lot. Maybe a teaspoon the whole meal if that😞 And he also would only open his mouth once or twice, the rest of the time Id have to make him smile to open his mouth. But today I ran out of spoons (they were all in the dishwasher) so I used one of the fun spoons we have (I'll put a picture in comments) but it's an elephant and it's adorable, but it's also a magic spoon! Every single bite he opened his mouth and actually swallowed most if not all of it!!! And I tested it with 2 different foods, one that he rejected multiple time before! I was in complete shock cause j thought I was doing something wrong this whole time. Turns out I just needed the magic spoon!😂

Guilt for older child

Hello, I’m 8 weeks pp and I have a 3 year old. She’s taken to being big sis brilliantly and I really can’t complain but I’m finding it hard at the moment as baby is very clingy and I feel like I can’t give my eldest enough attention and I feel like it’s starting to have an impact on her behaviour. Baby just wants to be held, awake or asleep, I’ve tried a sling/wrap which works but I still cant really bend and play with her properly. Anyone else finding the same? Any solutions? Thanks!
